Favorite Quote:
“Now this is the Law of the Jungle — as old and as true as the sky; And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back –For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.” -Rudyard Kipling
Krispy Kreme Challenge:
“ 2400 calories, 12 doughnuts, 5 miles, 1 hour.” At NC State, donuts are more than just a late night snack, they are a symbol of competition and endurance. In December, 2004 a few undergraduate students got together and created a charity event known as the “Krispy Kreme Challenge”. The objective is for participants to run 2.5 miles from the Memorial Belltower to the local Krispy Kreme. Once contestants arrive, they must eat a dozen donuts before running back to the Belltower. The catch? All of this must be done in just one hour.
Class Ring Ceremony:
At NC State we choose to go beyond the standard tradition of only buying a class ring. Wolfpack tradition is that we also let it spend the night in the Memorial Belltower. The tradition is strong in symbolism; for students this act connects all the rings to NC State, those who have come before, and those still to come. The day after the ring spends the night in the Belltower, there is a formal ceremony for students and their families celebrating the new bond with the Wolfpack.
The Free Expression Tunnel:
The Free Expression Tunnel connects Central Campus to North Campus, and is the most direct route to the Brickyard. In the tunnel, all people are welcome to come and paint whatever they like, wherever they like. The high traffic area is the number one place for student organizations to advertise events, and for individuals to showcase artwork. Because the tunnel can be used to creatively express opinions, it can also be a center of controversy. However, when issues arise, students come together to stand up and speak out about diversity on campus. At the end of the day, everyone in the Wolfpack just wants to leave their mark and see their name painted on the tunnel wall.
Howling Cow Ice Cream:
Howling Cow is made on the NC State campus at the Department of Food, Bio-processing and Nutrition Science’s Feldmeier Dairy Processing Lab in Schaub Hall. What makes it so special (and delicious) is that it is made from a traditional recipe using fresh milk and cream from NC State cows! The ice cream is a hit every year at the North Carolina State Fair, and is sold on campus all year long. A variety of flavors awaits students, alumni, and visitors at the Creamery in DH Hill Library.

Reviews for "N C State Mascot: Inspiring Generations of Future Wolfpacks"
1. John - 2/5 - I was not impressed with the N c state mascot. It lacked creativity and originality. It looked like a generic wolf costume that you could find at any Halloween store. I expected more from a mascot representing a university. It also didn't engage with the crowd or generate any excitement during the game. Overall, I was disappointed with the N c state mascot and felt it could have been much better.
2. Emily - 3/5 - The N c state mascot was okay, but nothing special. It didn't really stand out or make a lasting impression on me. I think it could have been more unique and distinctive, especially considering it represents a prominent university. Additionally, the mascot's movements felt awkward and forced, which made it less enjoyable to watch. Overall, I was underwhelmed by the N c state mascot and expected more from such a respected institution.
3. David - 2/5 - The N c state mascot was honestly quite forgettable. It didn't have any memorable characteristics or traits that would make it stick in my mind. I expected a mascot that would bring energy and enthusiasm to the games, but instead, it felt lackluster and uninspiring. It seemed like a missed opportunity to create a mascot that truly embodies the spirit of N c state. I hope they consider redesigning it to make it more engaging and memorable in the future.
4. Sarah - 1/5 - I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the N c state mascot. It was poorly designed and looked more like a cheap knock-off of a wolf than an official university mascot. The costume lacked attention to detail and was overall unimpressive. It's a shame that such a prestigious university settled for such a subpar mascot. The N c state mascot definitely needs some serious improvements to bring it up to par with the level of excellence one would expect from the university.
